Metrik 'We Got It' (Spy remix) (Hospital)
It’s rather nice when a remix seeks to absolutely detonate the original – and in leaving the glacial intro to this keys-and-vocals tearjerker almost intact, Spy ensures his rework feels doubly vicious when a waspish synth tendril fizzes into the frame and turns it into a Break-esque rolling crunch-up. With a drop that hits so hard, torched with electric mid-range venom, Rothwell’s heartstopping vocals take on a vengeful emo sheen, a world away from the wistful atmosphere of the original. Fine work from two top-notch studio ninjas.
8/10
